Just christian dating downs syndrome dating

In this series of articles, I've raised several biblical principles regarding the way we should treat our brothers and sisters in Christ.

First Thessalonians 4:1-8 admonishes us not to wrong or "defraud" our brother or sister by implying a marital level of commitment (through sexual involvement) when it does not exist.

How intimate of a friendship with someone of the opposite sex is OK? Won't the friendship be ruined if one of us expresses romantic interest and the other doesn't respond favorably?

As a Christian dating site we believe that marriage is a sacred covenant between man and woman, ordained by God as part of His divine plan for each of us. God says in Genesis : "It isn't good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him, a helper suited to his needs." God himself brings people together according to his timetable.

As I've discussed before, a broad (but sound) implication of this passage is that "defrauding" could include inappropriate emotional — as well as physical — intimacy.

Romans 13:8-14 calls us to love others, to work for their souls' good rather than looking to please ourselves.

The Bible teaches us that God wants the best for us: "For I know the plans I have for you — declares the LORD.

Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Through Jesus we may even call him 'Abba Father'.

And if you believe in it enough that it is part of your daily lives, wanting to focus on Christian dating and building a Christian family, then you have to set clear boundaries and have great focus and integrity.
